The Rise of Mooncrest demo is now available from Knightmayor, so give this tactical RPG a try ahead of the incoming Kickstarter campaign!

The new Overload demo is now available for testing ahead of the early access test, so try out this crazy new six degree of freedom ship shooter! I fondly remember the original Descent games. They provided some crazy six-degress-of-freedom combat, although I can’t claim that I was ever any good at it. In any case, […]

Check out the Synaria demo, and help provide valuable feedback for this early development RPG/FPS hybrid that is being made by one guy! [Update, Dec 12: Kyota emailed us to let us know that Synaria now has a new website and a new Steam Greenlight page, and you may want to check them out as […]

Check out the Shadow Tactics demo from Mimimi Productions and try out this new isometric tactical stealth game ahead of the game’s launch!

Try out the Iron Tides demo and consider supporting the Kickstarter of this viking-based rogue-lite strategy game from Crash Wave Games! This week Death by Beta received a couple of emails about the Iron Tides Kickstarter that is in its final week (four days left as I write this). More importantly, it seems that there […]

Check out the Vigilantes alpha demo and try this new crime-themed turn-based RPG game that is currently being developed by Timeslip Softworks! Yesterday Death by Beta received an email from Daithi McHugh over in Ireland regarding the new game that he and Timeslip Softworks are developing called Vigilantes. More specifically, Daithi wanted me to let […]

Check out the Foxhole demo, and try out this war-based top down MMO shooter that is currently on Steam Greenlight! Here is an interesting looking game that I saw mention of on Massively OP yesterday.

SHODAN is returning! Check out the System Shock demo and Kickstarter to see how this remake of the classic sci-fi horror game is shaping up!

Check out the pre-alpha Defenders of Naxia demo that is currently available as part of the game’s Kickstarter campaign! We don’t really cover crowdfunding campaigns much these days, although I do continue to peruse Kickstarter on occasion to look for campaigns that also include a game demo to try out. Case in point is the […]

Well here is some news that I meant to post about a couple of weeks ago but it completely slipped my mind. Better late than never I suppose. If you happen to recall, almost two years ago I mentioned the InSomnia Kickstarter and its technical demo. I actually liked the look of the game and […]

I have been keeping my eye on The Wild Eight Kickstarter campaign lately because it sounds like a very interesting survival game premise (which is impressive considering the glut of survival games that have appeared over the past few years). This week it got even more interesting with the release of a pre-alpha demo of […]

This is a piece of news that has been making the rounds in the PC game news world the past day or two, but just in case you haven’t heard about it the makers of Trine have released a demo to their latest inbound game called Shadwen. If you like stealth games then this is […]
